AS-III UAS: Efficient Drone for Forest and Wildlife Monitoring

<strong>Forest & wildlife</strong> monitoring

Forest & wildlife monitoring

The UAS AS-III developed by Insight Robotics is capable of carrying image capture payload with reduced set-up mission time and long endurance flights. The car takeoff and parachute landing make it usable in most environments.

Car-top launcher

Making the most of its low weight and small size, this drone can take off with no need for a runway. Hook it correctly on a device installed on the top of a car and let the air friction do the takeoff while controlled by Veronte Autopilot.

Veronte Autopilot integration

Using waypoints and 3D curves that can be modified inflight during the mission. The accurate positioning based on RTK technology permits quickly executing flight corrections to ensure a minimum deviation from the designed flight path.
